CDN Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Are there any Hungarian restaurants in Pattaya? What about bakeries or cafes that might sell dobos torte? And pierogies...I've been craving good pierogies with crispy bacon and sour cream...can't find them here in Korea and my culinary skills are woeful. Any recommendations from fellow board members?

Flashermac Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 The only real Hungarian restaurant I know of in Thailand was Nick's No. 1 in Bangkok long ago. Nick Jero went to his reward long ago. (His father was an officer in WWI!) I have heard of this one, never been to it and can't say. http://unicumpattaya.5mp.eu/web.php?a=unicumpattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sathorn and Rama IV, located in a wonderful old house that Nick said was built by a Thai nobleman for his favourite mistress. The house had thick, mud-brick walls and reportedly hosted several ghosts. The restaurant looked wonderful, and the food was excellent. I remember how much I loved the bread and rolls, something rare to find in Thailand back then. Nick was an old Hungarian gentleman, son of an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Army. He had a collection of "relatives" working with him, though Trink insisted they were just Hungarians he had met here and there. Nick finally lost the building, when the area was "modernised". Nick died around 1982, but his widow tried to reopen the restaurant in another building for a while. The food was not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Was Nicks right off Asoke? Maybe you are thinking if the Singha Bier Haus? Quite nice while it lasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acockasian Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Maybe you are thinking if the Singha Bier Haus? Quite nice while it lasted. It was kind of in back of what used to be the giant Seafood restaurant when it was on the corner at Asoke and Suk. The name will come to me. Mid to late 80s.

Pom Michael Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Nicks #2 was on Soi 4 for a while wasn't it - around 1992 to about 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 That was the wife's idea. Nick was long gone by then. It was an all right restaurant, just not up to the old standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
